–>Musiche:–>Trama del film:

"All eyes will be on you," says the Austrian duchess, Maria Theresa to her youngest daughter Marie Antoinette. The film, marketed for a teen audience, is an impressionistic retelling of Marie Antoinette's life as a young queen in the opulent and eccentric court at Versailles. The film focuses on Marie Antoinette, as she matures from a teenage bride to a young woman and eventual queen of France. Written by Scrltrose83

"Let them eat cake!" This is a motion picture detailing the life of Marie Antoinette after her betrothal to Louis XVI. From shoes to scandals, this movie outlines Marie Antoinette's nature, and her dedication to a life of fabulousness and outrageousness. We hear her utter those immortal words that caused such an outrage amongst the peasants of France, but we soon learn that it was a lie, as was much of her life. Written by Kristie M

Based on Antonia Fraser's book about the ill-fated Archduchess of Austria and later Queen of France, 'Marie Antoinette' tells the story of the most misunderstood and abused woman in history, from her birth in Imperial Austria to her later life in France. Written by David Gunning and Aimee Black

I had reached the point in my life where I could not bare the idea of
seeing another historical-costume-drama. The thought of seeing another
actor attempting the stilted period lingo and mello-drama gives me a
headache, BUT Miss Coppola has undone my pain with this fresh take on
the period drama, with her lovely and off-beat MARIE-ANTOINETTE.
Usually you watch the piece from afar, thinking, "Wow, life sure was
hard back then," but you never really can relate to the characters, but
Coppola breaks tradition in a completely refreshing way, so that you
can really understand these characters. She uses modern day music (not
like the horrible A KNIGHT'S TALE did) and hand held camera work. Her
style is much more free and alive. She takes her time with the material
so that we get a feel for time period and all of the free time they
had. The acting is first rate, other than a mis-cast Rip Torn who's a
little too over-the-top. If you've enjoyed her other movies (THE VIRGIN
SUICIDES & LOST IN TRANSLATION), then you are sure to enjoy this film.
But if you are looking for another stilted period drama with forced
accents and dead camera work then rent THE PARTRIOT or VANITY FAIR. I
really enjoyed MARIE-ANTIONETTE, though I'm not sure how historically
accurate it is, it's a fine film. Some have criticized Coppola for
making a French subject so American, but that is not the point, she has
created an accessible historical biopic, that people of
MARIE-ANTIONETTE's age could enjoy and relate to.
